A political Party that supports torture is not a "moral" Party.

...and is undeserving of leading our nation.

They are not patriotic. They are not strong. They are weak and evil.

I want the Democratic Party to stand up strong and united against torture of all kinds and from all quarters. I want them to put it in their political platform.

We should shout it from the mountaintops. We will not forget! We will not tolerate torture! There is no excuse that can justify it.

They are not anything they profess to be.

The are not conservative when it comes to the budget, but they are extremely conservative when it comes to social safety nets and earned benefits like pensions.

They always squander surpluses and run up deficits.

They cater to the rich and shaft the poor and working masses.

This does not represent 'family values'.

They don't believe in equality as it pertains to pay, race, or gender.

They lie daily.

They live in cycle of constant fear and hate.

They are the greatest threat this country faces.

I really no longer care because Democrats have proved they no longer really care about the common man. Big money is all that matters..

All of us need to look at this and call it what it is: It's Evil, it's vengeful and it's downright sadistic.

I even seen an apologist right here on this site a short whole ago who described anyone protesting against the CIA's world infamous torture program as "sanctimonious."

Some people have a stone where their heart is supposed to be. Allot of them are running the CIA.

These murderous bastards are totally trying to shake down the whole country right now, from Ferguson to the Torture Report.

They have gotten their marching orders and they are 'on the move' with their ludicrous talking points, extorting the populus with veiled threats worthy of winning First Prize in an Al Capone sound-alike contest...

Comments like this one, by an NYPD spokesperson (I think the police union's Prez.) on Anderson Cooper 360 last night:

"look, WE are the ones keeping YOU safe in your beds at night, so you'd best not complain about how we do our job"


If Left-of-Center had balls half the size of these MoFos, we'd have won this thing a long time ago.
